AEM Smart coils (IGN1-a ignition coils) are the go to coils for any high boost/high power engine from drag racing to circuit racing. When a hundredth of a second determines winning or losing we all know you have to make sure to take full advantage of your engine’s setup. Using the AEM smart coils ensures you’ll get every last little bit of power your engine can produce and never suffer from dreaded spark blow out. The AEM High Output IGBT Inductive “Smart” Coil (30-2853) ensures your engine will have complete combustion thanks to the reliable strong spark from your AEM smart coil ignition system. The AEM IGN1-a coils pack a huge charge with a super hot/strong spark and are the number 1 coils to use for any high power high boost engine. These coils are proven at over 60psi of boost and supporting over 3000HP on Methanol LS and JZ engine builds.
The trade off between adequate spark energy and adequate spark duration ends with AEM’s High-Output Inductive Coils, the first inductive coils that deliver CDI-like spark energy and voltage, and the long spark duration necessary for vehicles running high compression, high RPM, forced induction and/or nitrous engines.
Every auto enthusiasts who has a forced induction engine, high RPM engine or runs nitrous oxide should be aware of the compromises that come with using inductive coils instead of converting to a Capacitive Discharge Ignition system (CDI). While inductive coils deliver a long spark duration with simplicity, they lack the energy to adequately ignite the mixture in the combustion chamber of a highly modified performance vehicle. Conversely, CDIs deliver an intense burst of spark energy, but with very little spark duration, which makes having the proper air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber paramount for best performance. This compromise ends with AEM’s High-Output IGBT “Smart” Inductive Coils.
AEM’s High-Output Inductive Coils each deliver over 100mJ of spark energy and a minimum of 40,000 Volts—as much as most CDI systems, without the need for a CDI module! They also provide very long spark duration at full energy, unlike CDI systems and multiple spark systems which fire off small spark events prior to and after their CDI burst to mimic longer spark duration. AEM’s “Smart” Coils are designed for use on applications that do not have an external igniter. For those looking for a COP (coil over plug) option we also offer the R35 ignition coils with OEM or extended length boots.
For the best results we highly recommend running NGK iridium spark plugs with these AEM Ignition coils. Here is a list of Iridium core plugs from our partners at FFrides. We commonly use these NGK spark plugs in K20, K24, 2jz, RB26, 4g63, SR20 and B18 engines among many others.

Check out our AEM Infinity Ignition sync and tuning blog to learn exactly how to sync up the ignition timing between our engine and an AEM Infinity ECU. This same processes applies to all engines and is made incredibly simple when using AEM smart coils.
Kieth –
I run the AEM smart coils on my drag car and couldn’t be happier. No spark blow out even on high boost and i’m able to run a bigger gap at the plug than ever before. If you are looking for the “hottest” spark possible these are the coils for you!
